The Joys of Learning

It is time to really get into gear. We are up and running with our new (to us) Follett Destiny Automation System. This week I will be presenting the online catalog (OPAC) to the students in the school computer lab. Hopefully everything will work, I always need a back-up plan in case the server is down for any particular class. It always feels that I write two lessons for each week that is scheduled for the lab.

I did it!

I did create a podcast, now they want a video. It is amazing what one can do when put to the test.

The Tale of Despereaux - Chapter 3

This class is so amazing, I am learning so much and it is all useful in a school setting.

Podcasts

I have learned so much from the podcasts of others, now I need to create one of my own. This morning I watched lots of Atomic Learning videos on how to get started using Audacity. I now believe that it is possible. I finally got the microphone working correctly so I am good to go. I am a little stumped on content. I want something I can post on our student blog, yet still be useful to the larger community.

This podcast Eric Carle. is the one that really inspired me.
See post "Week 9, Thing 21 Podcasts" for my comments from the past.

Back to Blogging

It is time to resurrect this blog. After completing the CSLA summer camp 2.0, I have been ignoring this blog because I did not think I could use it for students. I am working with an edublog for student use. I hope the district will allow access at school to Edublogs.

Now that I am a proud newbie student in the Fresno Pacific University Library Teacher Credential program, I need a blog for some of the class work. Yes, you read that correctly, I have decided to become a real teacher librarian. Very exciting.

So, if you are interested, follow along on the journey. It will be exciting.

A few notes on the moving. We successfully separated the computer lab from the library. I believe things are better this way, not so crowded, but a whole different set of problems have evolved.
